Autonomous Driving Systems

What appeared to be nearly inconceivable at the beginning of the century has now come tangibly close: the vision of self-driving vehicles.

Over the last decade ADS (Automated Driving Systems) have been brought to the market and some vehicles today have already reached or are close to reaching Level 3 Automation. Reaching Level 4 and Level 5 automation is predicted to be the biggest breakthrough innovation in mobility. The continuing evolution of ADS aims to deliver even greater safety benefits and by that — one day — can handle the whole task of driving when we don’t want to or can’t do it ourselves. Fully automated cars and trucks that drive us, instead of us driving them, will become a reality.

In this module, our students will tackle learning projects that will allow them to set up and administer ADS.

Examples of Projects

Introduction to Autonomous Driving

Learn how vehicles can become capable of sensing their environments and operating without human involvement.

Cars That Can Sense

Make two or more sets of automotive components communicate with each other's applications.

Autopilot

Make an Autonomous Car perceive Road Lines. Automated Lane detection is a crucial function of self-driving cars to achieve a fully autonomous mode.
